140,000 QSOs and 196 Countries! Joe returns to the shack to break down the massive final numbers from our FIFA World Cup special event. We’re diving deep into the data—from the most active host cities to the "monsters" on the Vancouver team who pushed the limits of the hobby.
In this video:
Final Stats: A breakdown of the 139,477 total contacts made.
The Winners: Who took home the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals?
Mode Breakdown: Is digital really taking over? We look at how FT8 and CW compared during the event.
Data Nerd Out: We analyze the 24-hour heat maps and see how Field Day impacted the logs.
Certificates & QSL Info: Everything you need to know about claiming your awards and the September 30th QSL deadline.
